The Minister of the Interior
Guillermo Francos
sent a harsh message this Sunday to the governors who insist on not accompanying the Omnibus Law project sent by the Government to Congress.
After withdrawing the tax chapter to unblock its treatment, Javier Milei's official warned that there can be no more delays.
"Do not continue pulling the rope because later the consequences occur," he warned.
In statements to
CNN Radio
, Francos minimized the reversal with the fiscal chapter because he considered that the basis of the text is the deregulation of the economy.
He, in turn, urged that we not fall into further
discussions about the fine print
and that we move forward with its approval in Congress.
“If the law is not sanctioned, it will be worse for Argentina.
The President is going to govern with what he has, but for Argentina it is going to be worse
," said the minister, while pointing out that if it is not approved, "all the provinces that are waiting for
investments will not come to them
."
“The world does not trust Argentina because of its trajectory.
He only trusts if there is institutional security, if they give the President, who
has generated an impact in the world
with his proposals, the tools to govern.
That is what the political sectors that have been failing for so many years have to understand,” said the official.
In turn, Francos maintained that the Government is "willing to talk", but clarified that
they are not going to be "run"
with the fiscal chapter.
“The President is going to continue doing everything necessary to have zero deficit,
adjusting where he has to adjust
.
Does he not have tax rules that allow him to increase income?
“He will have to come from expenses,
that is what he is going to do,” he warned in a direct message to the governors to whom he also told that
“they will have to adjust their expenses.”

Francos stressed that the national Executive Branch “made several changes, accepting proposals from different sectors” and that due to this “
the treatment of this law should be quick
.”
And he continued, directly to the legislators and governors: “Vote against it, but let's move forward.
The country is in emergency,
we are not talking about anything
.”
He said that although during the Milei government they have "improved some of the most complex macroeconomic situations, for example
the hyper risk of hyperinflation has decreased
," he nevertheless pointed out that inflation continues at high levels anyway.
“One variable escapes and everything goes to hell.
Do not continue pulling the rope because later the consequences occur
,” he warned the provincial leaders and political leaders who oppose the Omnibus Law project.

Francos' complaint: “They tie our hands to govern”
In another passage of the interview he gave this Sunday, Francos considered that if the political leadership does not advance in the approval of the Omnibus Law project, they create an obstacle for the Government: "They tie our hands to govern."
“This is a government that has just begun, it is not even two months old yet and
obstacles are already being placed on it from different sectors
.
They stopped him after 45 days.
There are things that do not make sense,” he stated.
And he contrasted with the electoral plane.
"This government, with its speech and its proposals, was voted for by 56% of Argentines. What do we have to do to get them to join us?" he asked.
He also believed that last Wednesday's strike sponsored by the CGT "was quite inauspicious for what the union leaders and some political leaders of Unión por la Patria intended."
Francos laughs at the rumors about his resignation: "I pack and unpack my suitcase"
"There are many who want to send me to London as ambassador, I have to pack and unpack my suitcase every week," Francos replied, regarding the versions of his possible departure from Milei's cabinet, which were precipitated after his departure until last week. peer in the Infrastructure portfolio, Guillermo Ferraro.
"I am calm because
I have an excellent relationship with the President
and he knows of the efforts we are making."
clarified the official, who said that, far from the rumors, his "task is different": "I try to seek agreements and consensus to the extent that the other parties want to agree and reach a consensus."
